I lay beneath a woolen sheet
Where the attic air is sweet
Copper casing turned to grey
Waiting for the break of day
Old glass window lets it through
Turning silver into blue
I can feel the metal heat
Making every rhythm beat
Spin the wheel and catch the glare
Golden light is everywhere
Wind the spring and feel the snap
Waking from a winter nap
Rusty nails and cedar wood
I have waited where I stood
Counting seconds, counting years
Turning all my rusted gears
Old glass window lets it through
Turning silver into blue
I can feel the metal heat
Making every rhythm beat
Spin the wheel and catch the glare
Golden light is everywhere
Wind the spring and feel the snap
Waking from a winter nap
Once I rode in velvet coats
Sailing on the river boats
Now I see a spider web
Watching as the shadows ebb
Harder now the hammer falls
Bouncing off the plaster walls
Heavy brass and polished stone
I am not a ghost alone
Spin the wheel and catch the glare
Golden light is everywhere
Wind the spring and feel the snap
Waking from a winter nap
Sun is hitting on my face
Running in a steady race
Steel and iron, gold and chrome
Finding out a brand new home
Spin the wheel and catch the glare
Golden light is everywhere
Wind the spring and feel the snap
Waking from a winter nap
Tick-tock, tick-tock, keep the time
Hear the golden rhythm chime
